  2. Fill a pot large enough to contain the cauliflower with water. Season with 2 tbsp of atlantic salt, and bring to boil.

  3. When the water is boiling, add the cauliflower and cook covered with a lid for 10 minutes. If the water doesn't cover the whole cauliflower, turn it over after 5 minutes of cooking.

  4. After about 8 minutes of cooking, use a fork to check the cauliflower. It needs to get soft but remain a little firm.

    If needed, cook for another minute or two.

  5. When the cauliflower has softened, drain it from the water. Let the steam evaporate from the cauliflower for 3 2 - minutes. Taste a piece of the cauliflower to see if it is salty enough.
